| Abstract: | Recent reverberations of constitutional discourse, engineering and contestation in countries as disparate and diverse as Côte d'Ivoire, Zimbabwe, Senegal, Egypt and Benin, speak loudly to the fact that at the commencement of the twenty-first century, issues of constitutionalism in Africa have gained considerable prominence. The papers in this collective volume engage the issue of constitutionalism in order to provide critical and well-considered responses to numerous questions that confront contemporary Africa in its most recent political evolution. They are also concerned with the various struggles for progressive constitutionalism that are taking place on the continent. The papers are grouped under four headings: I. Constitutionalism in Africa: new challenges, new opportunities. II. Ethnicity, identity and the role of civil society. III. Gender struggles in the context of constitutional reform. IV. Beyond the horizon: towards a new African constitution.
